13 Best and Worst Deodorants

Certain Dri Certainly Puts an End to Perspiration and Odor!
A few things I learned in modeling school years ago which I will never forget: 1) A liquid antiperspirant is generally more effective than a solid one; 2) Vary your antiperspirants, as your body can become accustomed to the ingredients in one over time; 3) Unscented antiperspirants will not interfere or conflict with any body powder, lotion, or perfume you wear; and 3) Never apply right after sha...read moreving. Minor irritations can become major, uncomfortable problems. I went through a huge variety of antiperspirants and liked many of them, but I noticed sweating and slight body odor at the worse possible times (for instance, occasionally at corporate meetings or while standing in front of my students, who miss absolutely nothing!). A friend recommended Certain Dri. With my modeling days in mind, I opted for the non-scented, liquid variety (about $5.50). She told me that she had thought it was once available by prescription only. That in itself was enough to convince me to try it. CERTAIN DRI PUT A TOTAL END TO MY SWEATING AND ANY UNPLEASANT ODOR! It contains Aluminum Chloride, an ingredient most often chosen by dermatologists for patients suffering from excessive sweating, or Hyperhidrosis. Certain Dri is different from other antiperspirants--it is supposed to be used only at night, after washing, as sweat glands are least active then. You can shower the next morning, but the protection will stay through water and soap. It is a clear liquid which will not stain clothing or leave annoying white marks behind (applause, applause!). I have unintentionally traveled and left Certain Dri at home. Not to worry, as the protection lasts longer than twenty-four hours for me. There is a "refresher" product available for touch-ups in the morning, but I've never needed this. Certain Dri has proved itself again and again, even through ninety-degree-plus temperatures and outrageous humidity! Just a word of warning: Be sure that you have allowed a good amount of time to pass between shaving and application. This potent product can produce slight stinging which generally passes with time, and you don't want to irritate open pores. I still vary antiperspirants; when I do take a break from this treasure, I turn to Mitchum's unscented liquid for excellent results!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 21 of 31 people said helpful

Works
This antiperspirant actually does what it says & I love that it's unscented. There are only two reasons why it doesn't get a 10 out of 10: Firstly, it doesn't block BO so if that's a problem for you then you'll need to use something scented or something that blocks odor also. I have a weaker, pretty smelling deodorant for when I know I'll be getting smelly, like when I'm going to work out. Secondl...read morey, it can irritate your skin sometimes. My underarms aren't sensitive but sometimes it does make my skin feel uncomfortable so if you have sensitive skin then you might want to reconsider this products, but the pros far outweigh the cons for me.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 7 of 8 people said helpful
